The OCSD website states that the applicant's driver's license must reflect the current address. Mine does not, because California refuses to issue a new DL when you file a change of address. Has anyone had a problem with this?

Just saw this. I recently got approved for my CCW by OCSD.

I had an old address on my DL. After my livescan and interview and all that they just had me update my address with the DMV and email them the confirmation of the update.

I did it all online. If you have proof that you updated your address you should be good. If you updated they may just see it when they do their background check.

I currently have my old address on my physical DL. It wasn't a problem at all.

Actually OCSD was great. I took longer with training and livescan then they took in dealing with me.

About a week and a half. You'll get an email telling you to come pick it up. It's a painless process now. Don't forget to take your checkbook.

PAINLESS? I got the email from my Investigator on Monday telling me that my packet had been moved into the final approval stage, and that I would be getting an email with my pickup date soon. No pickup yet... Every single email I've gotten since then has made me jump for joy and then deflate in disappointment.

Rookie.
You have no idea how the pioneers suffered ....

I'm doing my 2nd renewal (3rd license). First time using the online process and I have one question.

It has an option to upload the training cert. Previously OCSD would give you a conditional approval and then you would get your training cert. Are they now asking you to do the training cert first? Can I submit this online form and then they give me a conditional approval like before?

EDIT: nevermind. I see it says the cert is required before submitting the renewal.
EDIT part 2: So does the renewal still require a 4 hour class or just a shooting qualification?? Would love to just shoot and go.

Update: I submitted mine anyway without the cert. I think they will give a conditional approval and then tell you to get the cert. Like they used to during the old manual process. If not I'll post here and let everyone know.

What was the timeframe from your finger print scan to when OCSD received the results?

Sorry that I didn't answer this earlier. I don't know since the email I received from OCSD, when I contacted it it to ask about the delay in getting the scan results, didn't say when OCSD received the results. Only that they had been received and my file was pending review.

I'll weigh in here and add my two cents. It was less than a week for me. I got livescanned right after I left my interview with the Investigator, and then he emailed me in less than a week saying my results were received & approved. I'm not sure what the implication is if it's taking a very long time.

Thanks, Tuna. It could be that whoever does the approvals got swamped, there may be a change in processing, or it may just be bad timing if whoever has to do the review is out. Even deputies get ill and have other reasons for time off.

Update for those wondering if they will still give you a conditional approval, when using the new online process for renewal, before asking for your training cert or if you need to submit the training cert with your initial packet. I found the reimbursement comment interesting.

Short answer: You can submit your initial renewal packet without the cert and they will give you a conditional approval first.

Hello OCSD,

I submitted my renewal for my CCW online (my last renewal was the older "manual" process) a little over a week ago. I did NOT submit my training cert with my initial application. For my initial permit and previous renewal we were told to wait for the conditional approval before paying for and completing the training cert. Is this still the case or should I go ahead and pay/complete my training cert and submit it online?

Good morning,

It is up to you, whether you’d like to complete your training now or wait for a conditional approval. If the training is done before, it would be accepted if you are to get conditionally approved, however, if you are not, the training will not be reimbursed.

Update for those wondering if they will still give you a conditional approval, when using the new online process for renewal, before asking for your training cert or if you need to submit the training cert with your initial packet. I found the reimbursement comment interesting.

26165. (d) The applicant shall not be required to pay for any training courses prior to the determination of good cause being made pursuant to Section 26202.

Determination of good cause moves you to "Conditional Approval". They are making sure you understand that prior to that authorization, you are incurring the costs of training on your own, without recourse to the IA.

Nicely done! I think we should emphasize to new applicants that they should get their Livescan and training done BEFORE the interview. People who do this are getting way faster service. My interview was a month before yours, and I'm still waiting for OCSD even though my livescan and training have since been completed!
